Frequently Asked Questions

Q. Can I recover from cancer?

Many people recover from cancer every year, some completely. It is so much easier when cancer is diagnosed at an early stage as treatment is then often simpler and more likely to be effective. So, finding cancer early can make a real difference.
There are a lot of screening options available to you or you can do a couple of self-examinations and go for regular medical check-ups.
Women should go for regular breast and cervical (pap smears) examinations or check-ups and men for prostate and testicular cancer examinations. Regular skin cancer examinations should be on your yearly agenda as well.
